Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's later with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and we're continuing to
monitor what is going on in San Bernardino. If you
haven't been listening to KFI, we have been covering the
Edgehill fire, which was originally reported around two thirty pm
in the area of the thirty three hundred block of
Beverly Drive in the Little Mountain community.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
If you're familiar with.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It, we know that at least five to six homes
have been destroyed by the fire. That number has been
pretty stable for out most of the day. It has
not increased. We're continuing to watch it. There is an
evacuation order which is still in effect, So although there
(01:06):
are reports coming out that the fire is under control,
the evacuation order, more importantly is still in effect and
it is as follows, all residents living on the south
side of and south of Ridgeline Drive, all residents living
on the north side and north of edge Hill Road,
(01:27):
west to and including Beverly Drive, an east to Circle Road.
There is an evacuation center which has been set up
at Marshall Elementary School, which is three two eight eight
North g Street, again. This evacuation order is still in
effect and the Edge Hill fire is still a disaster area.
(01:48):
We know that at least five to six homes have
been consumed by flames and the area is still dangerous.
We have kfi's on Michael Monks, who is on seen
getting as much much information as possible.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Want to start you there.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
We will continue to follow it and see what new
information may come our way, and then we can pass
it on to you. We will most likely speak to
Michael Monks before the hour is over. Just want to
check in with the guys in the studio tonight. Good evening,
Mark Ronner, how you doing, my friend a little warm?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, it was a really warm day and that actually
circles back to the fire. When we have these really
hot days, it's not unusual for a fire to break out,
and also it makes it much more difficult for firefighters
to deal with it.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Unfortunately, I can't even imagine being a firefighter in this weather.
Those poor guys, good on them. Look, not everyone can
be a first responder. Not everyone is cut out for
that job. Not everyone is cut out for that life.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And you know, God bless them and hopefully they will
all remain safe. Stephan, what's going on with my friend?
How are you today on this Monday?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Good?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Good?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
And I thought about you a lot because I know
you don't like to go and I could feel the
heat just being at home and I don't like to
go outside. The minute you open that door, it was
like a furnace on me and I'm like, nope, not
going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I tried to walk the dogs as early as I
could so I wouldn't have to subject them to the heat.
I like warm temperatures. I don't like this because I
can't do anything with it. And Twalla Sharp, is good
to see you on this Monday evening. What's happening life
all around it? And that you're rounder to hit us
(03:31):
with another rain report.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We need it.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
We wish there ain't no rain agrees in Alfa, Dina.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
That's not right, yeah, And it's not like it's going
to get better anytime immediately soon some other things we
are going to be covering on the show tonight. You
know that outdoor Techno EDM festival which is like right
outside so far and people were complaining for miles around.
I live about three miles from Sofi Stadium I could
(03:58):
hear it. Each and every one of those complaints was legitimate.
For a moment, I thought my neighbor was having a party,
and then my wife had to tell me, no, that's
Hollywood Park, Sofi Stadium area, this outside EDM festival.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't like to interrupt your no, go ahead. So
I was hearing that too.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yes, I thought it was a neighbor that had like
a massive party.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, that was that was Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, yes, because it sounded like, Okay, someone's having a party.
It was like it's weird and Sunday evenings like that's
what it's time to tone it down.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I mean, damn, y'all got it. Got to work two
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And yes, because I had to be up at six
to do this hit at Spectrum in studio. Something I
turned in to get off my lawn last night. It's like,
turn that down, it's two down loud. We'll get into
that next segment. And also, I don't know if you
heard about the pilot who's arrested and removed from the
(04:58):
aircraft right before the flight. I don't know about you,
but if I'm on a plane getting ready, not getting
ready to take off, but I'm expecting to take off
the next half hour so and I see law enforcement
come on and remove the pilot.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't know if I want to stay on that plane,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Why are you removing him? Was he under the influence?
Did he do something to the plane? Was he being
super suicide? I'm being serious. All those things to be
going through my mind. It's like, maybe that's a sign
from God saying get your ass off the plank. I
don't know, but we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And also, did you hear about the man who was
sentenced to two years for assaulting flight attendants, assaulted police
when the plane landed, tried to open the door to
the plane mid flight, and only got two years.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You're saying I can kick the ass of a flight
attendant and then kick the ass of the police with
a land plead guilty and only get two years.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
This isn't the guy who had ten edibles before he
went on the plane?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
No?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No, that was that was a pilot, Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Because I saw I saw something over the weekend, and
it all blurs together, because it's not just one thing.
A guy who had had like ten times the normal
amount of THHC and started taking off his clothes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, that was That was the guy sitting in the
jump seat in the in the cockpit.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
That really fills you with confidence. Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Look, just like my sister said when she was retiring.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
You know, there's the stuff that we see in the news,
and there's the other ninety five percent of the stuff
that we don't see that doesn't get to the news,
which is.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Looking at a train travel from now on.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh you think those those train operators are any better?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, it's not a track.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
How bad could a train go other than a derailing
and you know ended up like an East Palestine.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Well, you don't have Palestine everything. Morris William Please, he
brought up.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
My middle government name. I know it's your middle name,
but damn it's my name first.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, it's something we have in common.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What did Tony Stark say? I'll allow it.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
It's Later with mo Kelly, can't I Am six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And kfi's owned Michael Monks is still on scene in
San Berdano covering the edge fire. He will be reporting
to the KFI twenty four hour newsroom at the bottom
of the hour and he will be coming on with
us to close out the hour. So we'll give you
the latest on that, just to know that we are
on top of the story, and we'll have it for
you right here. Last night, I was at home, mind
(07:28):
my own business, trying to have a nice quiet evening
as an old man, you know, kind of just rocking
in my chair, watching little TV, eat dinner at three thirty,
you know, what old people do. And then there was
this music and thing like who has a party on Sunday?
(07:49):
It wasn't like it was going to be a holiday
on Monday. And it just kept growing louder and louder louder.
I'll say, which one of my neighbors. Now there's like
twelve you've been in my there's my neighbors in the
housing development, and there are neighbors just outside, you know,
in the general neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I didn't know where it was coming from. And
I was saying like, and I.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Looked out the window and I couldn't see where this
loud party was emanating. And then my wife pulled me
aside and said, oh, yeah, you know that the thing.
I said, what do you mean, the thing? You know,
the thing that's going on so far? No, I don't
know the thing that's going on so far. What are
you talking about? They're having this like this in this
Electronica EDM festival. I said, really said, oh yeah, it's
(08:30):
like all day. And I said, A Sunday, a Sunday
the whole time, the whole time, the whole time, the
whole freaking day. And it got louder and louder and
later and later into the evening, and then I had
to get up, you know, day before crack of dawn
(08:53):
this morning to do this television hit a spectrum, which
means I get up like maybe five thirty or so.
They were around five thirty. Step correct me if I'm wrong,
but I know it was way past midnight. It was
still going on.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I for a second thought it was a neighbor, and
but I almost felt like, get off my lawn titled
because I opened the door and I'm like, it's not here,
it's not my neighbor.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Where that h is coming from?
Speaker 5 (09:18):
And I go inside, back inside and watching my show
and It's going over the speakers of my TV, and
I'm like, what is happening? So I'm glad you brought
this up because I was I thought I was losing
gonna mind because I'm like, I hear it. There's a
party going on somewhere and it's not like even near me.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But yeah, the source of the ear splitting disruption this is,
according to the Los Angeles Times, was the Hard Summer
Music festival, held at the Hollywood Park adjacent to Sofi Stadium.
The festival featured techno, house and dubstep music and attracted
some seventy thousand attendees. The Elson Gunda Police Department said
it received several noise complaints. I live about four miles
(10:00):
away from that, and I could hear it as clear
as day. I shuddered to think what it was like
for the people within a one mile radius. Oh my god,
let me tell you this is related. I watched A
Quiet Day, part one the Origin story this weekend, and
you know the premise of this, right is that some
sort of monster aliens come down and nobody can make
any noise or it alerts the aliens to their presence.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I found myself taking the side of the aliens in
this one, you gotta pick a side. I'm not going
to be on the side of the noisy people. Oh,
I really understand their point of view a lot better
at this point. I could understand why they were often folks.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It was so disruptive, and I have to wonder how
did they manage to make it the whole day, because
someone probably had to have been taken to the hospital
because of ear drum damage.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It was it vibrating your sternum.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It was I'm saying, it was rumbling the house.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You thought it was close, and then when I figured
out it was miles away, I said, I couldn't even
imagine what was like for people who were right next.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
To it, because and I'm sure, Mo, you can appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Like you know, a lot of weekends you can go
outside and you'll smell barbecues, looking, Oh, someone's having a party.
So I heard that music earlier and I was like, yeah,
that's just a party happening. But like you said, one
point thirty in the morning, who's still going on a Sunday?
Like that's like you said, no holiday tomorrow or today, nothing,
And it just they kept going on and on it went.
(11:20):
The loud music and vibrating bass, according to the LA Times,
could be heard and felt across Los Angeles from Culver
City to Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
That is freaking ridiculous. Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Manhattan Beach is a good fifteen miles away.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's the ocean. The ocean. Culver City is closer to
Venice Beach.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Okay, anybody out in an oil rig someplace here?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It I'm quite sure. I am quite sure.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And this is what El Segundo Police Department said, quote,
we are aware of the loud, booming sound affecting the city.
It is originating from a music festival near Sofa Stadium.
There is no need to call nine one one to report.
It's not funny, But it's funny because you know, somebody
was calling nine one one to report because that's the
only number we know. No one knows how to call
(12:11):
the police for non emergency, not align They just called
nine one one.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
Did either of you fill it on the third though?
Because it was happening on the third as well.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I wasn't around for much of the third I had
a hot keto seminar which was in Downey, and I
was I wasn't home for most of that day or
even evening, So if it was going on, it probably
in my mind, I'm thinking like, okay, Saturday night party, whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And I live close enough to.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
La Southwest College where you know, if they're having a
party up there, or if there's a community event going
on up there, you can hear it. It's not a
big deal and it wouldn't have sounded strange. But late
Sunday night it got everybody's attention. Inglewood Police Department said
they got calls nine one one calls, Elsa Gundo, La
(12:59):
County Share Department. There's a substation not far from my house,
of the Linux station, and I was talking to some
of the detextile there they received calls.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So, you know, I just wonder how you managed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Look, if I had a part of that loud that
would shut me down, how did the event not get
shut down or at least told to calm it down?
Because it was not getting any softer in indecibels as
the evening went on.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It just didn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know, if I were twenty five, it probably would
have been great, But I'm not. I'm not twenty five anymore.
Get off my freaking lawn and turn that music down.
It's two damn loud.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Alert the aliens.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You watch your mouth, young man, watch your mouth. I
was soap. Talk to your elders like that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
This young whipper snapper generation needs to learn some manners
and learn some respect. When I was that age, we
didn't get to play our music that loud. People got
bad at us. If we turned up our music too
loud in our car and you could hear it in
the next car over, it would tell us to turn
it down.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
It could be the next city, it could be the
next county, and they act like it's no big deal.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
What is going on in this world?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I'm not trying to be funny these young people, you know,
kicking their ass. Hey, I'm a firm believer of corporal
punishment and spanking your kids. I know you do that
bump that beat your kids before they grow up and
break in my house. I've said that all the time,
and now with all these break ins, they're saying, you know,
mos right, they should have been beating their kids when
they're younger. Yes, you knew I was right. Spankings, spank
(14:33):
the kids. It was good enough for me. It's good
enough for them swallow. Were you spanked growing up?
Speaker 9 (14:40):
I think I only got hit once. I have way
too much respect from my mom to need spankings. I
did all my stuff on the low. I'm going to
leave that alone. I'm going to leave that alone, Stephan
Were you spanked growing up?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Safe? Like to all?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I was terrified of my mom. Gosh, my father beat
the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Mark, Oh, like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
With the school paddle, with the wooden paddle with the
holes in it, to make it go faster, I had to.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I had to.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I had a teacher make me walk down the hallway
ask another teacher if I could borrow the paddle, let
him use it on me, then return it to the
teacher and thank her for letting me borrow it to
be used on me.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
You got that?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And you know I have to tell if someone's listening
who's not at least fifty years old. And I'm being serious,
it used to be where there was corporal punishment in
public schools, just privately, I'm talking about public schools. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, you know missus Krabapple, who whooped your ass legally?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I had a teacher picked me up by my hair
once in a public school, they weren't as gentle as
they are today.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I had a teacher, Missus Trevor, fifth grade. She didn't
do it to me because I was such a good student,
but I saw it have it. She would hit your
knuckles with a ruler hard if you held your pencil
incorrectly when we were learning cursive.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
I thought the nuns had a copyright on that. No, well,
maybe she grew.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Up in a some sort of you know, Catholic environment
or something. But this is a public school. It's Arnold
Elementary nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No fun.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yes to think if they would do that.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Now, you wouldn't have edm Festival too.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Touche, touche.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's Later with mo Kelly caf I AM six forty
WeLive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I want to tell
you about the latest in air travel and that craziness
in just a moment.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Always got to reset this. I'm not a nervous flyer.
I'm not afraid of flying. I'm just aware of stuff
which goes on on airplanes and it unsettles me. It's
almost like if you worked at a restaurant, you then
know what happens in the kitchen that goes on, and
(17:04):
the customers just don't know. But if they knew, they
probably wouldn't ever come back to your restaurant, or any
restaurant for that matter.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's how I feel about it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
There are these.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Stories which actually make the news, and there are the
other stories which don't make the news. And most of
the ones, the air issues, the people flipping out, they
don't make the news. Or the close calls or the
mid air near collisions, most of them don't make the news.
It's more rare that it actually gets picked up by
the news. But when it does get picked up by
(17:35):
the news, it's usually pretty significant. And you may remember
the story about the guy who was on a plane
on an LAX to DC flight he flipped out, he
tried to open the emergency door. Well, he was sentenced
last week to nineteen months in federal prison. You say
(17:56):
why federal prison, Well, he was in the air, okay,
so that makes it a federal c one. Rembetorivas of
La was sentenced last Wednesday and he pleaded guilty on
January twenty third, to only one count one count, one
(18:16):
count of interfering with flight crew members in flight attendants,
and was ordered to pay sixty four thousand dollars in
restitution to American Airlines. He won't be eligible for parole,
so he has to serve the full nineteen months, but
the nineteen months are for this. At some point during
the flight, Revis got up from his seat, went to
the front of the plane and began arguing with the
(18:38):
flight attendant. Revs told another flight attendant in Spanish, people
were attempting to hurt him, had followed him onto the plane,
and he had heard the individual's harming his family over
the phone. Okay, obviously he's having some sort of mental episode.
Revs then grabbed some plastic silver rare from a service cart,
placed it in his shirt sleeve, and held it like
(19:01):
a shink. He also picked up a small champagne bottle,
attempted to break it, shoved the service cart into one
of the flight attendants, and tried to open an emergency
exit door by lifting the handle and was almost able
to do so. According to passenger testimony, that he moved
the door away from the frame about two to three inches.
(19:23):
I don't know what altitude they were as far as
whether the pressure would have kept the door closed or not,
but for me, as a semi nervous flyer, that would
have been enough for me to try to kill him. Okay,
So I'm not going to let it go that far.
I'm going to die or we're going to die together.
But nich Eventually another flight attendant, a second flight attendant,
grabbed a coffee pot from the back of the plane
(19:44):
and hit Revis over the head twice.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And he said, why did they have to do it twice?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, this guy six foot three, two hundred and forty pounds, Okay,
he's got some half to them. And once he was
on the ground, they taped his legs and used zip
ties to restrain him. Revis when the plane landed, remember
he was taped and zip tied. He assaulted law enforcement
officers who attempted to arrest him after the plane was
(20:12):
diverted to Kansas City and landed there. Several officers were injured.
He got nineteen months assaulted flight attendants now does say
he does face a pending charge in Missouri for the
assault against law enforcement officer, so he may get more
time but on the surface, it's only showing nineteen months
(20:36):
no early parole, nineteen months for one count of interfering
with a flight attendant or whatever. I would think it's
almost attempted murder because if he's successful, everybody dies.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Should there be and I know it is possible impossible,
but should there be psyche vows for individuals flying? Should
you have to like do it like a health quiz?
Are you okay? Have you been any depression?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I mean to what end each are you gonna do?
Are you just going to check that box when you
buy your ticket? You know, like they ask you, are
you carrying any flammable liquids? Are you carrying any lithium batteries?
Are you crazy? Are you psychotic?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
To all involved, I mean, what are you going to
do beyond just having them check the box? And that's
just for limiting liability where if you check the box, Yes,
I'm bringing on flammable liquids, Okay, we won't allow you
on the plane. Yes I'm crazy and I might try
to kill everyone. Okay, you can't come on the plane.
I mean, you're expecting people to self report. I don't
know if that'd be a good idea.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I was actually on a flight once where a guy
tried to open the back door and it happened so
fast and I wasn't close enough to do anything. The
flight attendant got them away from the door, And I
don't think you can just open them like that while
the plane's in flight, right, But was this pre or
post nine to eleven?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Uh? Pre pree.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Let's say I spent the rest of the flight wishing
I'd packed extra pants.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I can't even imagine what would be going through my
mind and body.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
At that point.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
That happened to me when I was on the flight
to DC for a programming conference right after nine to eleven.
I was asleep and woke up to the commotion of
a in flight security officer.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
They had tackled.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Someone who's like a closed marshal, Yeah, who had tried
to open up a door passenger fifty seven, All right, no, no, no,
And I just woke up to it and just the
person next to me had gripped my arm real hard,
and I woke up and I'm like, what the blank
And she was like and she was like in tears.
She's like, oh my god, got just try to open
up the door they got just tried to open up
the door, and I'm like no, and in my mind
(22:44):
like the emergency exit or to the pilet, to the
emergency exit door, and I'm like, no, that's impossible. And
I wasn't really, you know, I wasn't thinking that nine
eleven could happen.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Again.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
I'm like, no, we're good. But yeah, they did tackle
the guy in the back.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, that's not something I would like to experience.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And then there's this the Frontier Airlines pilot who was
arrested and removed from the plane in handcuffs right before takeoff.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
This is your captain speaking.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be able to continue on
this flight all the way to Atlanta Airport as I'm
in presently in handcuffs, so taking over will be the
first mate, Tola Sharp, thank you, an have a great day.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Exactly how I would respond to that, because I've been
on a plane.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Actually when I was going to Korea.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
We landed in Korea, local law enforcement came to get
this guy we were talking to and they didn't forcibly
remove him, but they said, sir, your mind coming with us.
So evidently they were waiting for him, but the flight
was over. I don't know how I would respond if
(23:53):
law enforcement were to get on the plane and arrest
the pilot. And I put that in air quotes because
you don't know why the person getting arrested. Is this
a person an impersonator? Is this someone who's running from
the law and he's trying to steal a plane?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
You know?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Is he suicidal? I don't know what to think.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And all I know is if if law enforcement comes
on the plane and removes the pilot, that is a
sign from God to get off the plane. That's God
intervening right here, right there. Get off the plane. You're
not meant to be on that plane. You or the
pilot get off the plane final destination.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So they don't know what was up with this guy.
I gotta find this well.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Video captured at George Bush Intercon Intercontinental Airport showed Captain
Seymour Walker nice name, being escorted off the Frontier plane
by authorities around four pm local time August first. Walker
was wanted on an assault family violence arrest warrant issued
by the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Department of Public Safety.
(24:50):
He was taken into custody without incident. The activity occurred
prior to the startup boarding for flight thirty one ninety five,
scheduled for Houston and d I was fort Worth. A
replacement crew member was not immediately available, and therefore the
flight was canceled. Thank you Jesus, so no one had
to fly. Because I know I'm getting off the plane, start.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Looking into Greyhound. I think.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
You know I took a Greyhound up to Sacramento when
I was going up for hop Keto seminar. This was
back in April. It wasn't too bad. It was It
was not a bad experience. You know, you got your
your bus with the with the Wi Fi, you had
your electrical outlet. The only down part was some of
(25:36):
the people on there just did not bathe prior to
get on.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Ah, you know, leave the driving to us. Okay, go ahead,
give it to him. Go ahead, give it to him.
No we got time, go ahead, give it to him.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I'll wait. I don't need your pity. I don't need you.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
That's okay, that's all right, because you're not gonna get
much else. It's later with mo Kelly k IF.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I am six forty one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app and do we have any Pink Floyd fans? How
about Australian Pink Floyd one of the best cover bands
in the world, especially when it comes to Pink Floyd. Well,
they're going to be performing in Los Angeles next week,
and guess who's.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Going to be giving away two peers, two pairs.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Two pairs and tickets each night on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday this week.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Guess who. I'll give you three guesses. First two don't catch.
It's not gonna be Stefan.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I'm coming up with anything uh not Mark.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
And it's not Chris Little, so it's probably Twalla.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Having sold over five million tickets to concerts that have
taken place in thirty five countries, the Australian Pink Floyd
Show is rightfully hailed as one of the most in
demand touring entities currently operating. The Times newspaper in London
described them as the gold standard.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The act is so good.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
They were even higher by David Gilmour himself to perform
at his fiftieth birthday party celebration put another way, don't
miss the Australian Pink Floyd Show, in fact, is coming
to La August fourteenth at the Orpheum Theater. We're gonna
be giving away two pairs of tickets, two pairs every
single night this week. That's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
(27:23):
Two pairs of tickets every night this week. In fact,
if you don't win them here, you can always get
them online at ticketmaster dot com. I'll tell you right now.
We're giving the tickets away next hour. But right now
we have to find out what is happening on the
ground in San Bernardino. As kfi's owned Michael Monks joins
us with the latest. Michael, how are you tonight.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Hey, good evening, mo. It's pretty hot out here in
San Bernardino, but not as hot as it was a
little bit earlier. And that's important apparently for these firefighters.
And I only say apparently because one of their spokespeople
said it was it was difficult to manage the fire
out here here at Little Mountain when it was one
oh nine, but then the temperature dropped to about one
oh four and it was a little more manageable. For
(28:07):
some reason, they were able to get this under control
within about four or five hours. It's still burning. There's
still some fire going on out there. About fifty acres burned,
including several very lovely homes at the top of this hill.
I understand them to be rather historic old homes. And
now though as far as any spread, that looks like
the threat is over.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
The threat may be over.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But we know that at least five homes were destroyed.
Do we know or have any sense of the extent
of damage beyond that has grown in any way?
Speaker 10 (28:39):
No. The spokesperson for the fire department would not specifically
indicate exactly how many what they call structures were hurt
and whether how how many of those structures were homes,
and did not offer at this time an estimate on
what that damage was. But we saw from our media
friends on television that it was pretty extensive to several,
(29:01):
certainly multiple homes, and they did look like they were
from some very nice and large homes.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I know that there's been speculation about the cause, and
I know you are trying to chase down some information
and leads on what may have been some of the
precipitating factors.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Do we know more on why and how it started.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
The fire department spokesperson could not indicate what any investigators
have found yet. They were on the scene for a
shorter period of time than the guys putting out the flames.
But a source and a police department did inform me
that they have identified someone. We can't say suspect or
that someone was detained, but they found someone who may
(29:43):
have knowledge about the origin of this fire, and that
they were talking to this person. What information they were
hoping to glean or have gathered.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We're not yet clear on.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Do we know since the sun is going down and
getting to becoming dark, whether that will impact how the
fire department will proceed throughout the rest of the night.
Speaker 10 (30:05):
They're going to work on this, and my understanding again
is that as the temperatures fall a little bit more
out here, all of that is good news. There was
a little bit of wind, and those can be antagonistic
for fires and exacerbate them. We don't have those Santa
Ana winds going on out here, which a lot of
people expressed gratitude for. So they'll work through the night
(30:26):
as long as it takes to put this thing out.
But already the scene had calmed dramatically from the scenes
that we saw this afternoon. I talked to some neighbors
at the bottom of the hill, in some of the
more modest homes, was still in a lovely neighborhood who
were in their go zone. They were spraying down their homes,
spraying down their grass and anticipation that this fire was
(30:48):
going to come down the hill and get them as well.
And while it was certainly tragic for some families tonight
losing their homes, it was not as bad as people
thought it could have.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Been before I let you go, let me ask you
this what we what you say is the air quality?
Is it a relatively decent I know it can't be good,
but it seems like you're very close to the fire situation.
You can talk normally, so I didn't necessarily know if
air quality was an issue.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
It wasn't bad at all. From the bottom of the hill.
By the time that I was a witness to any
of this, the smoke had turned white, and I know
that that's significant in firefighting. So it may have been
a stronger stream of smoke that was more impactful to
people's breath earlier in the afternoon, but by this evening
the firefighters had done such swift work that the smoke
(31:37):
was mostly white at that point and the air was
perfectly normal.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Michael Monks, thank you for giving us the latest on that,
and I know you may be out there for a
little while longer. You have some other reports for KFI,
so I'll be listening in as well. Thank you. So
fortunate you. It's late with Mo Kelly, KFI AM six forty.
We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
You can listen to KFI everywhere like you haven't noticed,
k
Speaker 1 (32:02):
S I and k O s T HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County live everywhere on the Egart Radio s
It's later with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and we're continuing to
monitor what is going on in San Bernardino. If you
haven't been listening to KFI, we have been covering the
Edgehill fire, which was originally reported around two thirty pm
in the area of the thirty three hundred block of
Beverly Drive in the Little Mountain community.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
If you're familiar with.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It, we know that at least five to six homes
have been destroyed by the fire. That number has been
pretty stable for out most of the day. It has
not increased. We're continuing to watch it. There is an
evacuation order which is still in effect, So although there
(01:06):
are reports coming out that the fire is under control,
the evacuation order, more importantly is still in effect and
it is as follows, all residents living on the south
side of and south of Ridgeline Drive, all residents living
on the north side and north of edge Hill Road,
(01:27):
west to and including Beverly Drive, an east to Circle Road.
There is an evacuation center which has been set up
at Marshall Elementary School, which is three two eight eight
North g Street, again. This evacuation order is still in
effect and the Edge Hill fire is still a disaster area.
(01:48):
We know that at least five to six homes have
been consumed by flames and the area is still dangerous.
We have kfi's on Michael Monks, who is on seen
getting as much much information as possible.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Want to start you there.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
We will continue to follow it and see what new
information may come our way, and then we can pass
it on to you. We will most likely speak to
Michael Monks before the hour is over. Just want to
check in with the guys in the studio tonight. Good evening,
Mark Ronner, how you doing, my friend a little warm?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, it was a really warm day and that actually
circles back to the fire. When we have these really
hot days, it's not unusual for a fire to break out,
and also it makes it much more difficult for firefighters
to deal with it.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Unfortunately, I can't even imagine being a firefighter in this weather.
Those poor guys, good on them. Look, not everyone can
be a first responder. Not everyone is cut out for
that job. Not everyone is cut out for that life.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And you know, God bless them and hopefully they will
all remain safe. Stephan, what's going on with my friend?
How are you today on this Monday?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Good?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Good?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
And I thought about you a lot because I know
you don't like to go and I could feel the
heat just being at home and I don't like to
go outside. The minute you open that door, it was
like a furnace on me and I'm like, nope, not
going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I tried to walk the dogs as early as I
could so I wouldn't have to subject them to the heat.
I like warm temperatures. I don't like this because I
can't do anything with it. And Twalla Sharp, is good
to see you on this Monday evening. What's happening life
all around it? And that you're rounder to hit us
(03:31):
with another rain report.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We need it.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
We wish there ain't no rain agrees in Alfa, Dina.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
That's not right, yeah, And it's not like it's going
to get better anytime immediately soon some other things we
are going to be covering on the show tonight. You
know that outdoor Techno EDM festival which is like right
outside so far and people were complaining for miles around.
I live about three miles from Sofi Stadium I could
(03:58):
hear it. Each and every one of those complaints was legitimate.
For a moment, I thought my neighbor was having a party,
and then my wife had to tell me, no, that's
Hollywood Park, Sofi Stadium area, this outside EDM festival.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't like to interrupt your no, go ahead. So
I was hearing that too.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yes, I thought it was a neighbor that had like
a massive party.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, that was that was Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, yes, because it sounded like, Okay, someone's having a party.
It was like it's weird and Sunday evenings like that's
what it's time to tone it down.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I mean, damn, y'all got it. Got to work two
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And yes, because I had to be up at six
to do this hit at Spectrum in studio. Something I
turned in to get off my lawn last night. It's like,
turn that down, it's two down loud. We'll get into
that next segment. And also, I don't know if you
heard about the pilot who's arrested and removed from the
(04:58):
aircraft right before the flight. I don't know about you,
but if I'm on a plane getting ready, not getting
ready to take off, but I'm expecting to take off
the next half hour so and I see law enforcement
come on and remove the pilot.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't know if I want to stay on that plane,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Why are you removing him? Was he under the influence?
Did he do something to the plane? Was he being
super suicide? I'm being serious. All those things to be
going through my mind. It's like, maybe that's a sign
from God saying get your ass off the plank. I
don't know, but we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And also, did you hear about the man who was
sentenced to two years for assaulting flight attendants, assaulted police
when the plane landed, tried to open the door to
the plane mid flight, and only got two years.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You're saying I can kick the ass of a flight
attendant and then kick the ass of the police with
a land plead guilty and only get two years.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
This isn't the guy who had ten edibles before he
went on the plane?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
No?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No, that was that was a pilot, Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Because I saw I saw something over the weekend, and
it all blurs together, because it's not just one thing.
A guy who had had like ten times the normal
amount of THHC and started taking off his clothes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, that was That was the guy sitting in the
jump seat in the in the cockpit.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
That really fills you with confidence. Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Look, just like my sister said when she was retiring.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
You know, there's the stuff that we see in the news,
and there's the other ninety five percent of the stuff
that we don't see that doesn't get to the news,
which is.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Looking at a train travel from now on.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh you think those those train operators are any better?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, it's not a track.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
How bad could a train go other than a derailing
and you know ended up like an East Palestine.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Well, you don't have Palestine everything. Morris William Please, he
brought up.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
My middle government name. I know it's your middle name,
but damn it's my name first.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, it's something we have in common.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What did Tony Stark say? I'll allow it.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
It's Later with mo Kelly, can't I Am six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And kfi's owned Michael Monks is still on scene in
San Berdano covering the edge fire. He will be reporting
to the KFI twenty four hour newsroom at the bottom
of the hour and he will be coming on with
us to close out the hour. So we'll give you
the latest on that, just to know that we are
on top of the story, and we'll have it for
you right here. Last night, I was at home, mind
(07:28):
my own business, trying to have a nice quiet evening
as an old man, you know, kind of just rocking
in my chair, watching little TV, eat dinner at three thirty,
you know, what old people do. And then there was
this music and thing like who has a party on Sunday?
(07:49):
It wasn't like it was going to be a holiday
on Monday. And it just kept growing louder and louder louder.
I'll say, which one of my neighbors. Now there's like
twelve you've been in my there's my neighbors in the
housing development, and there are neighbors just outside, you know,
in the general neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I didn't know where it was coming from. And
I was saying like, and I.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Looked out the window and I couldn't see where this
loud party was emanating. And then my wife pulled me
aside and said, oh, yeah, you know that the thing.
I said, what do you mean, the thing? You know,
the thing that's going on so far? No, I don't
know the thing that's going on so far. What are
you talking about? They're having this like this in this
Electronica EDM festival. I said, really said, oh yeah, it's
(08:30):
like all day. And I said, A Sunday, a Sunday
the whole time, the whole time, the whole time, the
whole freaking day. And it got louder and louder and
later and later into the evening, and then I had
to get up, you know, day before crack of dawn
(08:53):
this morning to do this television hit a spectrum, which
means I get up like maybe five thirty or so.
They were around five thirty. Step correct me if I'm wrong,
but I know it was way past midnight. It was
still going on.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I for a second thought it was a neighbor, and
but I almost felt like, get off my lawn titled
because I opened the door and I'm like, it's not here,
it's not my neighbor.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Where that h is coming from?
Speaker 5 (09:18):
And I go inside, back inside and watching my show
and It's going over the speakers of my TV, and
I'm like, what is happening? So I'm glad you brought
this up because I was I thought I was losing
gonna mind because I'm like, I hear it. There's a
party going on somewhere and it's not like even near me.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But yeah, the source of the ear splitting disruption this is,
according to the Los Angeles Times, was the Hard Summer
Music festival, held at the Hollywood Park adjacent to Sofi Stadium.
The festival featured techno, house and dubstep music and attracted
some seventy thousand attendees. The Elson Gunda Police Department said
it received several noise complaints. I live about four miles
(10:00):
away from that, and I could hear it as clear
as day. I shuddered to think what it was like
for the people within a one mile radius. Oh my god,
let me tell you this is related. I watched A
Quiet Day, part one the Origin story this weekend, and
you know the premise of this, right is that some
sort of monster aliens come down and nobody can make
any noise or it alerts the aliens to their presence.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I found myself taking the side of the aliens in
this one, you gotta pick a side. I'm not going
to be on the side of the noisy people. Oh,
I really understand their point of view a lot better
at this point. I could understand why they were often folks.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It was so disruptive, and I have to wonder how
did they manage to make it the whole day, because
someone probably had to have been taken to the hospital
because of ear drum damage.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It was it vibrating your sternum.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It was I'm saying, it was rumbling the house.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You thought it was close, and then when I figured
out it was miles away, I said, I couldn't even
imagine what was like for people who were right next.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
To it, because and I'm sure, Mo, you can appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Like you know, a lot of weekends you can go
outside and you'll smell barbecues, looking, Oh, someone's having a party.
So I heard that music earlier and I was like, yeah,
that's just a party happening. But like you said, one
point thirty in the morning, who's still going on a Sunday?
Like that's like you said, no holiday tomorrow or today, nothing,
And it just they kept going on and on it went.
(11:20):
The loud music and vibrating bass, according to the LA Times,
could be heard and felt across Los Angeles from Culver
City to Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
That is freaking ridiculous. Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Manhattan Beach is a good fifteen miles away.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's the ocean. The ocean. Culver City is closer to
Venice Beach.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Okay, anybody out in an oil rig someplace here?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It I'm quite sure. I am quite sure.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And this is what El Segundo Police Department said, quote,
we are aware of the loud, booming sound affecting the city.
It is originating from a music festival near Sofa Stadium.
There is no need to call nine one one to report.
It's not funny, But it's funny because you know, somebody
was calling nine one one to report because that's the
only number we know. No one knows how to call
(12:11):
the police for non emergency, not align They just called
nine one one.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
Did either of you fill it on the third though?
Because it was happening on the third as well.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I wasn't around for much of the third I had
a hot keto seminar which was in Downey, and I
was I wasn't home for most of that day or
even evening, So if it was going on, it probably
in my mind, I'm thinking like, okay, Saturday night party, whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And I live close enough to.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
La Southwest College where you know, if they're having a
party up there, or if there's a community event going
on up there, you can hear it. It's not a
big deal and it wouldn't have sounded strange. But late
Sunday night it got everybody's attention. Inglewood Police Department said
they got calls nine one one calls, Elsa Gundo, La
(12:59):
County Share Department. There's a substation not far from my house,
of the Linux station, and I was talking to some
of the detextile there they received calls.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So, you know, I just wonder how you managed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Look, if I had a part of that loud that
would shut me down, how did the event not get
shut down or at least told to calm it down?
Because it was not getting any softer in indecibels as
the evening went on.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It just didn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know, if I were twenty five, it probably would
have been great, But I'm not. I'm not twenty five anymore.
Get off my freaking lawn and turn that music down.
It's two damn loud.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Alert the aliens.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You watch your mouth, young man, watch your mouth. I
was soap. Talk to your elders like that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
This young whipper snapper generation needs to learn some manners
and learn some respect. When I was that age, we
didn't get to play our music that loud. People got
bad at us. If we turned up our music too
loud in our car and you could hear it in
the next car over, it would tell us to turn
it down.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
It could be the next city, it could be the
next county, and they act like it's no big deal.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
What is going on in this world?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I'm not trying to be funny these young people, you know,
kicking their ass. Hey, I'm a firm believer of corporal
punishment and spanking your kids. I know you do that
bump that beat your kids before they grow up and
break in my house. I've said that all the time,
and now with all these break ins, they're saying, you know,
mos right, they should have been beating their kids when
they're younger. Yes, you knew I was right. Spankings, spank
(14:33):
the kids. It was good enough for me. It's good
enough for them swallow. Were you spanked growing up?
Speaker 9 (14:40):
I think I only got hit once. I have way
too much respect from my mom to need spankings. I
did all my stuff on the low. I'm going to
leave that alone. I'm going to leave that alone, Stephan
Were you spanked growing up?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Safe? Like to all?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I was terrified of my mom. Gosh, my father beat
the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Mark, Oh, like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
With the school paddle, with the wooden paddle with the
holes in it, to make it go faster, I had to.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I had to.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I had a teacher make me walk down the hallway
ask another teacher if I could borrow the paddle, let
him use it on me, then return it to the
teacher and thank her for letting me borrow it to
be used on me.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
You got that?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And you know I have to tell if someone's listening
who's not at least fifty years old. And I'm being serious,
it used to be where there was corporal punishment in
public schools, just privately, I'm talking about public schools. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, you know missus Krabapple, who whooped your ass legally?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I had a teacher picked me up by my hair
once in a public school, they weren't as gentle as
they are today.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I had a teacher, Missus Trevor, fifth grade. She didn't
do it to me because I was such a good student,
but I saw it have it. She would hit your
knuckles with a ruler hard if you held your pencil
incorrectly when we were learning cursive.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
I thought the nuns had a copyright on that. No, well,
maybe she grew.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Up in a some sort of you know, Catholic environment
or something. But this is a public school. It's Arnold
Elementary nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No fun.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yes to think if they would do that.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Now, you wouldn't have edm Festival too.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Touche, touche.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's Later with mo Kelly caf I AM six forty
WeLive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I want to tell
you about the latest in air travel and that craziness
in just a moment.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Always got to reset this. I'm not a nervous flyer.
I'm not afraid of flying. I'm just aware of stuff
which goes on on airplanes and it unsettles me. It's
almost like if you worked at a restaurant, you then
know what happens in the kitchen that goes on, and
(17:04):
the customers just don't know. But if they knew, they
probably wouldn't ever come back to your restaurant, or any
restaurant for that matter.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's how I feel about it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
There are these.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Stories which actually make the news, and there are the
other stories which don't make the news. And most of
the ones, the air issues, the people flipping out, they
don't make the news. Or the close calls or the
mid air near collisions, most of them don't make the news.
It's more rare that it actually gets picked up by
the news. But when it does get picked up by
(17:35):
the news, it's usually pretty significant. And you may remember
the story about the guy who was on a plane
on an LAX to DC flight he flipped out, he
tried to open the emergency door. Well, he was sentenced
last week to nineteen months in federal prison. You say
(17:56):
why federal prison, Well, he was in the air, okay,
so that makes it a federal c one. Rembetorivas of
La was sentenced last Wednesday and he pleaded guilty on
January twenty third, to only one count one count, one
(18:16):
count of interfering with flight crew members in flight attendants,
and was ordered to pay sixty four thousand dollars in
restitution to American Airlines. He won't be eligible for parole,
so he has to serve the full nineteen months, but
the nineteen months are for this. At some point during
the flight, Revis got up from his seat, went to
the front of the plane and began arguing with the
(18:38):
flight attendant. Revs told another flight attendant in Spanish, people
were attempting to hurt him, had followed him onto the plane,
and he had heard the individual's harming his family over
the phone. Okay, obviously he's having some sort of mental episode.
Revs then grabbed some plastic silver rare from a service cart,
placed it in his shirt sleeve, and held it like
(19:01):
a shink. He also picked up a small champagne bottle,
attempted to break it, shoved the service cart into one
of the flight attendants, and tried to open an emergency
exit door by lifting the handle and was almost able
to do so. According to passenger testimony, that he moved
the door away from the frame about two to three inches.
(19:23):
I don't know what altitude they were as far as
whether the pressure would have kept the door closed or not,
but for me, as a semi nervous flyer, that would
have been enough for me to try to kill him. Okay,
So I'm not going to let it go that far.
I'm going to die or we're going to die together.
But nich Eventually another flight attendant, a second flight attendant,
grabbed a coffee pot from the back of the plane
(19:44):
and hit Revis over the head twice.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And he said, why did they have to do it twice?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, this guy six foot three, two hundred and forty pounds, Okay,
he's got some half to them. And once he was
on the ground, they taped his legs and used zip
ties to restrain him. Revis when the plane landed, remember
he was taped and zip tied. He assaulted law enforcement
officers who attempted to arrest him after the plane was
(20:12):
diverted to Kansas City and landed there. Several officers were injured.
He got nineteen months assaulted flight attendants now does say
he does face a pending charge in Missouri for the
assault against law enforcement officer, so he may get more
time but on the surface, it's only showing nineteen months
(20:36):
no early parole, nineteen months for one count of interfering
with a flight attendant or whatever. I would think it's
almost attempted murder because if he's successful, everybody dies.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Should there be and I know it is possible impossible,
but should there be psyche vows for individuals flying? Should
you have to like do it like a health quiz?
Are you okay? Have you been any depression?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I mean to what end each are you gonna do?
Are you just going to check that box when you
buy your ticket? You know, like they ask you, are
you carrying any flammable liquids? Are you carrying any lithium batteries?
Are you crazy? Are you psychotic?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
To all involved, I mean, what are you going to
do beyond just having them check the box? And that's
just for limiting liability where if you check the box, Yes,
I'm bringing on flammable liquids, Okay, we won't allow you
on the plane. Yes I'm crazy and I might try
to kill everyone. Okay, you can't come on the plane.
I mean, you're expecting people to self report. I don't
know if that'd be a good idea.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I was actually on a flight once where a guy
tried to open the back door and it happened so
fast and I wasn't close enough to do anything. The
flight attendant got them away from the door, And I
don't think you can just open them like that while
the plane's in flight, right, But was this pre or
post nine to eleven?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Uh? Pre pree.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Let's say I spent the rest of the flight wishing
I'd packed extra pants.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I can't even imagine what would be going through my
mind and body.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
At that point.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
That happened to me when I was on the flight
to DC for a programming conference right after nine to eleven.
I was asleep and woke up to the commotion of
a in flight security officer.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
They had tackled.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Someone who's like a closed marshal, Yeah, who had tried
to open up a door passenger fifty seven, All right, no, no, no,
And I just woke up to it and just the
person next to me had gripped my arm real hard,
and I woke up and I'm like, what the blank
And she was like and she was like in tears.
She's like, oh my god, got just try to open
up the door they got just tried to open up
the door, and I'm like no, and in my mind
(22:44):
like the emergency exit or to the pilet, to the
emergency exit door, and I'm like, no, that's impossible. And
I wasn't really, you know, I wasn't thinking that nine
eleven could happen.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Again.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
I'm like, no, we're good. But yeah, they did tackle
the guy in the back.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, that's not something I would like to experience.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And then there's this the Frontier Airlines pilot who was
arrested and removed from the plane in handcuffs right before takeoff.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
This is your captain speaking.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be able to continue on
this flight all the way to Atlanta Airport as I'm
in presently in handcuffs, so taking over will be the
first mate, Tola Sharp, thank you, an have a great day.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Exactly how I would respond to that, because I've been
on a plane.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Actually when I was going to Korea.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
We landed in Korea, local law enforcement came to get
this guy we were talking to and they didn't forcibly
remove him, but they said, sir, your mind coming with us.
So evidently they were waiting for him, but the flight
was over. I don't know how I would respond if
(23:53):
law enforcement were to get on the plane and arrest
the pilot. And I put that in air quotes because
you don't know why the person getting arrested. Is this
a person an impersonator? Is this someone who's running from
the law and he's trying to steal a plane?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
You know?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Is he suicidal? I don't know what to think.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And all I know is if if law enforcement comes
on the plane and removes the pilot, that is a
sign from God to get off the plane. That's God
intervening right here, right there. Get off the plane. You're
not meant to be on that plane. You or the
pilot get off the plane final destination.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So they don't know what was up with this guy.
I gotta find this well.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Video captured at George Bush Intercon Intercontinental Airport showed Captain
Seymour Walker nice name, being escorted off the Frontier plane
by authorities around four pm local time August first. Walker
was wanted on an assault family violence arrest warrant issued
by the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Department of Public Safety.
(24:50):
He was taken into custody without incident. The activity occurred
prior to the startup boarding for flight thirty one ninety five,
scheduled for Houston and d I was fort Worth. A
replacement crew member was not immediately available, and therefore the
flight was canceled. Thank you Jesus, so no one had
to fly. Because I know I'm getting off the plane, start.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Looking into Greyhound. I think.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
You know I took a Greyhound up to Sacramento when
I was going up for hop Keto seminar. This was
back in April. It wasn't too bad. It was It
was not a bad experience. You know, you got your
your bus with the with the Wi Fi, you had
your electrical outlet. The only down part was some of
(25:36):
the people on there just did not bathe prior to
get on.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Ah, you know, leave the driving to us. Okay, go ahead,
give it to him. Go ahead, give it to him.
No we got time, go ahead, give it to him.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I'll wait. I don't need your pity. I don't need you.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
That's okay, that's all right, because you're not gonna get
much else. It's later with mo Kelly k IF.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I am six forty one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app and do we have any Pink Floyd fans? How
about Australian Pink Floyd one of the best cover bands
in the world, especially when it comes to Pink Floyd. Well,
they're going to be performing in Los Angeles next week,
and guess who's.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Going to be giving away two peers, two pairs.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Two pairs and tickets each night on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday this week.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Guess who. I'll give you three guesses. First two don't catch.
It's not gonna be Stefan.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I'm coming up with anything uh not Mark.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
And it's not Chris Little, so it's probably Twalla.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Having sold over five million tickets to concerts that have
taken place in thirty five countries, the Australian Pink Floyd
Show is rightfully hailed as one of the most in
demand touring entities currently operating. The Times newspaper in London
described them as the gold standard.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The act is so good.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
They were even higher by David Gilmour himself to perform
at his fiftieth birthday party celebration put another way, don't
miss the Australian Pink Floyd Show, in fact, is coming
to La August fourteenth at the Orpheum Theater. We're gonna
be giving away two pairs of tickets, two pairs every
single night this week. That's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
(27:23):
Two pairs of tickets every night this week. In fact,
if you don't win them here, you can always get
them online at ticketmaster dot com. I'll tell you right now.
We're giving the tickets away next hour. But right now
we have to find out what is happening on the
ground in San Bernardino. As kfi's owned Michael Monks joins
us with the latest. Michael, how are you tonight.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Hey, good evening, mo. It's pretty hot out here in
San Bernardino, but not as hot as it was a
little bit earlier. And that's important apparently for these firefighters.
And I only say apparently because one of their spokespeople
said it was it was difficult to manage the fire
out here here at Little Mountain when it was one
oh nine, but then the temperature dropped to about one
oh four and it was a little more manageable. For
(28:07):
some reason, they were able to get this under control
within about four or five hours. It's still burning. There's
still some fire going on out there. About fifty acres burned,
including several very lovely homes at the top of this hill.
I understand them to be rather historic old homes. And
now though as far as any spread, that looks like
the threat is over.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
The threat may be over.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But we know that at least five homes were destroyed.
Do we know or have any sense of the extent
of damage beyond that has grown in any way?
Speaker 10 (28:39):
No. The spokesperson for the fire department would not specifically
indicate exactly how many what they call structures were hurt
and whether how how many of those structures were homes,
and did not offer at this time an estimate on
what that damage was. But we saw from our media
friends on television that it was pretty extensive to several,
(29:01):
certainly multiple homes, and they did look like they were
from some very nice and large homes.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I know that there's been speculation about the cause, and
I know you are trying to chase down some information
and leads on what may have been some of the
precipitating factors.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Do we know more on why and how it started.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
The fire department spokesperson could not indicate what any investigators
have found yet. They were on the scene for a
shorter period of time than the guys putting out the flames.
But a source and a police department did inform me
that they have identified someone. We can't say suspect or
that someone was detained, but they found someone who may
(29:43):
have knowledge about the origin of this fire, and that
they were talking to this person. What information they were
hoping to glean or have gathered.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
We're not yet clear on.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Do we know since the sun is going down and
getting to becoming dark, whether that will impact how the
fire department will proceed throughout the rest of the night.
Speaker 10 (30:05):
They're going to work on this, and my understanding again
is that as the temperatures fall a little bit more
out here, all of that is good news. There was
a little bit of wind, and those can be antagonistic
for fires and exacerbate them. We don't have those Santa
Ana winds going on out here, which a lot of
people expressed gratitude for. So they'll work through the night
(30:26):
as long as it takes to put this thing out.
But already the scene had calmed dramatically from the scenes
that we saw this afternoon. I talked to some neighbors
at the bottom of the hill, in some of the
more modest homes, was still in a lovely neighborhood who
were in their go zone. They were spraying down their homes,
spraying down their grass and anticipation that this fire was
(30:48):
going to come down the hill and get them as well.
And while it was certainly tragic for some families tonight
losing their homes, it was not as bad as people
thought it could have.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Been before I let you go, let me ask you
this what we what you say is the air quality?
Is it a relatively decent I know it can't be good,
but it seems like you're very close to the fire situation.
You can talk normally, so I didn't necessarily know if
air quality was an issue.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
It wasn't bad at all. From the bottom of the hill.
By the time that I was a witness to any
of this, the smoke had turned white, and I know
that that's significant in firefighting. So it may have been
a stronger stream of smoke that was more impactful to
people's breath earlier in the afternoon, but by this evening
the firefighters had done such swift work that the smoke
(31:37):
was mostly white at that point and the air was
perfectly normal.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Michael Monks, thank you for giving us the latest on that,
and I know you may be out there for a
little while longer. You have some other reports for KFI,
so I'll be listening in as well. Thank you. So
fortunate you. It's late with Mo Kelly, KFI AM six forty.
